Hope you find this dance more manageable than Repose Waltz

I personally ove the music and have always enjoyed dancing to it,

but realise that many people found the steps to be too hard.

So…..

Now I have been asked to write something easier and

Little Repose Waltz has been born!

It should be suitable for everyone, but if it's too easy for you,

try Repose Waltz as it is a lovely dance for experienced dancers.

From memory, it won the advanced waltz section at Tamworth a few years

ago, or was it 2nd?  Not sure, but it doesn't really matter now does it …

See you on the floor sometime… Jan
